Progressives acknowledging the fact of genocide is a good first step, and it’s useful that Ocasio-Cortez and others have done so — “I think [unconditional aid to Israel] enabled a genocide in Gaza,” she said in Munich — but it is not in and of itself sufficient. Before anyone in the party can move on to selling a post-Biden vision of human-rights-first foreign policy, they must address what accountability for the war criminals in the Biden administration — those who aided, armed, and funded genocide — should look like.
As far as I know we arent causing those other genocides with an endless supply of american money and weapons? We arent exactly the world’s policeman. What makes gaza unique is that we played a role in it, and both sides of the US governments party system are corrupted by a foriegn theofascist powers interests. Sudan doesnt openly bribe our congress and brag about it.
